The elegance and cheerful delight of Christmas Eve at Biltmore has greeted guests since 1895 when George Vanderbilt opened the house to friends and family for the very first time. The comforting warmth of fireplaces, the joy in being with friends and family and the magnificence of both architecture and landscape merged to create a unique setting for the holiday season then as it does today! 🎄 🎄 📸: theavlhotelier #Biltmore #ChristmasAtBiltmore #History #Asheville #MerryChristma
